Activity No. 8
Determination of Chloride Ion Concentration by Gravimetry
Gravimetric analysis is a method in quantitative analysis where an unknown sample is dissolved
in an appropriate solvent, and the analyte is converted to an insoluble form or precipitation of a known
compound and then weighing the precipitate. In order to do a gravimetric analysis, a cation must be found
that forms an insoluble compound with chloride. Ions such as Ag+, Pb²+, and Hg₂²+ form insoluble chlorides.
Therefore, silver chloride (AgCl) could be used to determine % Chloride (CI), because it is insoluble and it
can be formed pure and is easily filtered.
Ag+ (aq) + Cl(aq) →→ AgCl(s)
One of the most useful applications of gravimetric analysis is the determination of chloride in
natural waters such as seawater and water in rivers and lakes. In this experiment the chlorine content of
an unknown soluble chloride salt is to be determined. The unknown is dissolved in distilled water and
dilute silver nitrate solution is added to precipitate out the chloride as AgCl.
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)
Note that all of the aqueous species in the above reaction exists as ions in solution:
NaCl(aq) exists as Na+ and Cl
AgNO3 exists as Ag* and NO3
NaNO3(aq) exists as Na+ and NO3
AgCl(s) is a white solid
